A bill recently reintroduced in the U.S. Senate would pour more federal funding into destructive embryonic stem-cell research.
Sens. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., and Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, are behind the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act.
David Prentice, senior fellow for life sciences at the Family Research Council, said the bill supports “unethical and obsolete science.”
“What it does is simply open the floodgates so more human embryos can be sacrificed,” he said.
President George W. Bush twice vetoed virtually identical legislation. President Barack Obama supports embryonic stem-cell research.
